EXCLUSIVE: Rajkummar Rao begins Ujjwal Nikam Biopic with Avinash Arun from October 2025

In 2024 earlier on, TopMob broke the news that Aamir Khan was discussing a potential role for the Ujjwal Nikam biopic, directed by Avinash Arun. However, these discussions seemed to have ended when Aamir opted instead for a biopic about Dadasaheb Phalke with Rajkumar Hirani. Now, we’ve got fresh exclusive information that the Ujjwal Nikam biopic is once again moving forward! Avinash Arun has cast Rajkummar Rao in the leading role.

The biographical movie about Ujjwal Nikam is set to begin production in the final quarter of 2025, with filming scheduled to be completed all at once. Currently, prep work for the Ujjwal Nikam biopic is being done, and Rajkummar Rao is anticipated to undergo rigorous acting training to portray a real-life lawyer. A source close to production shared that while several actors were considered, Avinash ultimately believed that Rajkummar Rao was the best fit for the role.

The movie is set to be produced by Dinesh Vijan through his production company, Maddock Films, and it delves into the contentious trial processes surrounding the 1993 Bombay Blasts and the 2008 Mumbai Train Attacks. This film serves as a tribute to one of India’s most renowned public prosecutors. Avinash Arun, Dinesh Vijan, and Rajkummar Rao are eager to share this story, and it promises to recreate some of the most significant courtroom conflicts on the silver screen. The source mentioned that this is the case.

The movie will start production in October 2025 and is expected to be completed by March 2026, with a planned release date in the latter half of 2026. Maddock Productions aims to expand their catalog with films spanning various genres, and the Ujjwal Nikam Biopic is another step towards that goal.
